KIT-QUADThanks to the experience and knowledge with the prototypes mounted in collaboration with several teams, we have developed the KIT-QUAD, a suspension kit designed for ATV, UTV and Buggy. Based on the technology of Creuat Suspension, the KIT-QUAD improves spectacularly the ATV, UTV and Buggy features, changing it to s sports car feeling, without damaging the off-road capabilities Installing the KIT-QUAD helps the user of ATV, UTV and Buggy enjoy the on-road speed driving, and handling complicated sneaky roads, without any changes in any of the elements in the system.

The design of the Kit-Quad allows us to offer "all in one" product that provided high speed stability and off road traction without trade offs. The system offers simultaneously "hard" settings for pitch and roll, and a "soft" settings for heave and axle-crossing. This solution works without compromising the advantages of one option over another, and the most important, without compromising in any moment the safety of passengers. The Kit-Quad brings confident steering well above conventional systems. It is designed and built to optimize all vehicle movements (heave, roll, pitch, and axle crossing) independently one from each other. This independence in the suspension explains that we can offer simultaneously the following advantages. Roll stiffness:
Pith stiffness:
Vertical Movement softness:
Axel-crossing less rigit:

This is immediately felt on sand and snow where the increment of traction is very welcome. It also makes the vehicle more stable on the extreme situations

The ability to distribute the vehicle weight onto
the wheels also works backwards. When a bump is taken at high speed, the
suspension distributes the effects among all wheels. Therefore, bumps do not
generate wheel load fluctuations as normal suspension does. The net result is a
better handling over irregular surfaces, and less steering effort to maintain
the quad on track

Components
The KIT-QUAD design is simple, effective and easy to install The KIT-QUAD components are: - 1 Central Device and a fixing support - 4 Hydraulic cylinders each with its own hydraulic hose We recommend that the installation wll be done by a professional |

Adjustments The KIT-QUAD incorporates compression (left) and extension (right) adjustments placed on each cylinder head. When these adjusters are
rotated clockwise, we harder the suspension system, and when rotated
counterclockwise, we soften it. Compression (left): This is the upwards movement of the suspension, This adjustment helps with bumps movements to provide the right damping. Soft settings will absorb small bumps better, but will overreact over large bumps and will be too weak during jump landings. Hard settings, on the contrary can be too harass, becoming to uncomfortable. To find the right settings will depend on the vehicle usage and the driver’s preferences. Extension (right):
This is the downwards movement of the suspension. This
adjustment helps to regulate the speed the suspension returns to its
position after a bump. Normally this adjustment is set harder than the
compression aiming for a higher stability with the least comfort
tradeoff. |
